Summary
pkg_resources was removed from setuptools 82.0.0 (PEP 740, Feb 2026). This breaks uvloop installation when built from source with the latest setuptools.
Fix
Replace pkg_resources.Requirement.parse() with the stdlib packaging.requirements.Requirement (available since Python 3.8):
The version comparison is updated to use specifier string comparison.
Testing
pip install setuptools>=82
pip install uvloop # should work without pkg_resources error
python -c "import uvloop"
